The Hobbit Trilogy Marathon

18 June 2025

Return to Middle-earth: The Hobbit Trilogy Marathon Comes to The Arc Cinema for International Hobbit Day

Sharpen your swords, lace up your hairy feet, and prepare your second breakfast – because The Arc Cinema is calling all Hobbits for an epic journey back to the heart of Middle-earth. In honour of International Hobbit Day, we're proudly bringing back The Hobbit Trilogy Marathon to the big screen – where it belongs.

There and back again... in one glorious sitting.

Why a Trilogy Marathon is the Only Proper Way

Let’s face it – a single film simply won’t satisfy the Tookish wanderlust inside us. Whether you're a first-time visitor to Erebor or a seasoned traveler of the Wilderland, watching all three films back-to-back is the ultimate way to experience Bilbo’s adventure in its full, sprawling majesty.

A trilogy marathon doesn’t just show the journey – it is the journey. From the safety of Bag End to the desolation beneath the Lonely Mountain, you'll follow every sword-clashing skirmish, every pipe-weed pause, and every riddle in the dark without missing a beat.

Plus, there’s something sacred about watching these stories with fellow fans. It’s not just a screening – it’s a fellowship.

A Quick Look Inside the Treasure Hoard

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

When Gandalf the Grey shows up at the door of Bilbo Baggins, he brings with him a company of Dwarves and a call to adventure. With trolls, goblins, and the unforgettable Gollum, this first chapter shows us that even the smallest of Hobbits can carry great courage.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

The company continues its perilous quest eastward – through enchanted forests and Elven halls, pursued by orcs and giant spiders. But the true danger lies in the lair of the dragon Smaug, whose wrath and greed threaten to consume all.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

The mountain is reclaimed, but the war is far from over. With Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Orcs converging for a titanic clash, Bilbo finds himself caught in the centre of a conflict far greater than he ever imagined.

Bring Your Cloaks and Courage

This special screening is more than just a movie marathon – it’s a chance to celebrate the legacy of J.R.R. Tolkien, the enduring charm of Hobbits, and the spirit of adventure that binds us all. Whether you're a fan of mithril, mead, or majestic movie scores, The Arc Cinema is the place to be on International Hobbit Day.

So grab your lembas bread, rally your fellowship, and book your seat. This is your chance to step back into the light of the Arkenstone and witness The Hobbit trilogy as it was meant to be seen – on the big screen, surrounded by fellow adventurers.

No orc will stop us. No dragon will deter us. This September, Middle-earth is calling. Will you answer?
